EVEN MORE about this episode!Have you ever had a gut feeling you ignored—only to realize later that your intuition was right all along? What if that first quiet knowing isn't random, but information your soul is already receiving?Julie Ryan sits down with spiritual teacher, intuitive healer, and Akashic Record reader Inga Kastrone to explore how intuition really works, why it often speaks before the thinking mind takes over, and what can happen when we stop second-guessing what we already know.Inga describes intuition as access to a much larger energetic field connecting us with the subconscious mind, ancestral patterns, the body, and our soul's purpose. Together, Julie and Inga explore why trauma and conditioning can disconnect us from that inner knowing—and how we can begin rebuilding trust in ourselves.Inga's own awakening took an extraordinary path. Raised in Soviet Latvia without a spiritual upbringing, she pursued an academic career in international migration law before an unmistakable intuitive message told her to go to New Orleans. During a late-night ghost tour, an encounter with a voodoo priestess became part of a spiritual turning point that eventually led Inga into Reiki, the Akashic Records, energy healing, and the work she practices today.Julie and Inga also explore Harmonic Reconnection, Inga's approach to restoring harmony after trauma and disconnection; ancestral biofields; the imaginal realm; Egyptian goddess archetypes; and what it means to become fully present in your body while remaining connected to Spirit.Most importantly, this conversation asks a question that may change how you respond the next time that quiet voice speaks:What if you don't need more answers—what if you need to trust the answer you received first?If you've ever struggled to tell the difference between intuition and fear, doubted a gut feeling, ignored an inner knowing, or wondered how to reconnect with your spiritual guidance, this episode is for you.Guest Biography:Inga Kastrone, MA, MPhil, is an energy therapist, intuitive healer, Akashic Record reader, and sacred dance teacher based on the Mediterranean island of Gozo. For more than a decade, she has worked with advanced and sensitive souls seeking a deeper sense of wholeness, embodiment, and belonging, drawing on the subconscious mind, imaginal realm, and ancestral patterns. Her search for a more grounded bridge between the spiritual and physical worlds led her to develop Harmonic Reconnection, a holistic healing modality designed to help people reconnect with themselves, live from the soul, and move through life in greater harmony with the universe.Episode Chapters:(0:00:00) Welcome & Introduction(0:01:44) Has Your Intuition Been Right All Along?(0:05:45) Why We Learn to Ignore Our Intuition(0:09:36) Intuition vs. Ego: Which Voice Are You Hearing?(0:10:47) Ancestral Energy & the Akashic Records(0:18:53) Can Healing the Present Change the Past?(0:21:14) Healing Trauma Through the Imaginal Realm(0:24:28) Can the Body Hold Ancestral Memories?(0:31:39) The Body, Intuition & the Divine Feminine(0:40:52) How Spiritual Archetypes Can Help Us Heal(0:47:49) Why Sensitive Souls Feel They Don't Belong(0:53:27) What Is Harmonic Reconnection?(0:56:18) How Inga Was Called to Spiritual Work(0:59:44) The Ghost Tour That Changed Everything(1:03:33) Can Trees & Places Hold Energetic Memories?(1:11:32) A Message From Her Father's Spirit(1:11:33) How to Start Trusting Your Intuition(1:13:21) The “My Soul, I See You” Exercise(1:13:26) Why Do We Incarnate?➡️ Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️ Julie's Intuitive Trainings✏️ Ask Julie a Question!
"In my home country, they call me a 'bornfree'." Simukai Chigudu was born in Zimbabwe, two years after the end of its bitter war of liberation - a war in which his father had fought. This is the story of his childhood journey through the chaos of that new country's birth to Britain, where he arrived alone, a teenager, burning with ambition but utterly lost in ways he had yet even to discover. Told with astonishing insight, his memoir describes the drama of his quest to belong and to succeed, and how his worldview was both shaped and shattered by Britain, ultimately setting him on a quest to uncover the truth of his parents' past. In excavating their story alongside his own, he brings us closer than ever before to understanding one of the greatest upheavals in modern times - the freeing of a continent from colonial rule - not as history or politics but as a psychological and emotional force, one that divides families from within, even while those same divisions bind them fiercely together across time. Read the transcript here. Simukai Chigudu is Associate Professor of African Politics at the Oxford Department of International Development and Fellow of St Antony's College, Oxford University. He is broadly interested in the politics of global health and epidemics, race and identity, citizenship and activist movements, with a regional focus on Africa and the African diaspora. Simukai is the author of The Political Life of an Epidemic: Cholera, Crisis and Citizenship in Zimbabwe (Cambridge University Press, 2020), an examination of the social and political causes and consequences of Zimbabwe's catastrophic cholera outbreak in 2008/09, the most extensive in African history. This monograph won the Theodore J. Lowi First Book Award from the American and International Political Science Associations. He has conducted research in Zimbabwe, Uganda, The Gambia, and Tanzania, and has publications in several leading social science and medical journals. Simukai has recently published his first book for the trade, Chasing Freedom: Coming of Age at the End of Empire, published by The Bodley Head and Crown in March 2026. This book combines memoir, political history and cultural criticism to show how colonialism continues to shape politics, society and culture in Africa and in Britain and to explore what it really means to decolonise. Prior to working in academia, Simukai was a medical doctor in the UK's National Health Service. He holds a DPhil in International Development from the Oxford University for which he was awarded the biennial Audrey Richards Prize for the best doctoral thesis in African Studies examined at a UK university. Simukai teaches on the MPhil in Development Studies and supervises DPhil students. Ayisha Osori is a lawyer and Director at Open Society Foundations Ideas Workshop. Learn more about your ad choices.

Episode 67 is with Dr. Joachim Katchinoff, Co-founder and CEO of CREW CarbonIn this episode, Na'im speaks with Dr. Joachim “Jo” Katchinoff, co-founder and CEO of CREW Carbon, about how wastewater treatment plants can become permanent carbon sinks. Jo explains how dosing calcium carbonate into wastewater bioreactors converts microbe-produced CO2 into stable bicarbonate, why closed treatment systems make measurement far easier than open-ocean approaches, how the same intervention helps utilities remove more nitrogen and phosphorus while deferring major capital upgrades, what it takes to scale in a slow-moving regulated sector, and more.This conversation was recorded before some big news from CREW: the company just signed an offtake agreement with Microsoft for up to 23,602 durable carbon removal units — bringing CREW to more than $40 million in committed carbon removal contracts with buyers including JP Morgan, Google, Autodesk, and Stripe through Frontier. It's a strong signal that the approach Jo describes in this episode is resonating with the market's most demanding buyers.Na'im and Jo discuss:* Jo's Journey From Environmental Consulting To Yale* Commercializing Alkalinity-Based Carbon Removal* How Wastewater Treatment Actually Works* Wastewater Alkalinity Enhancement Explained* MRV Advantages Of Closed Reactor Systems* Co-Benefits For Wastewater Utilities* Scaling In A Regulated, Risk-Averse Sector* What Policymakers Need To Know* CREW's Series A And What's NextRelevant Links:* CREW Carbon - Website* Wastewater Alkalinity Enhancement - CREW's Approach* CREW Carbon Signs Offtake Agreement with Microsoft for Wastewater Carbon Removal* Isometric's Certified Protocol for Carbon Removal via Wastewater* CREW Carbon and Isometric Announce the World's First Wastewater Alkalinity Enhancement Carbon Removal CreditsAbout Jo Katchinoff:Jo is the co-founder and CEO of CREW Carbon, a scientist with multiple patents and over a decade in environmental research and climate modeling. Jo leads CREW's scientific strategy, partnerships, and commercialization of a novel platform that lets wastewater facilities remove and permanently store atmospheric carbon dioxide. Previously, Jo was a postdoctoral researcher and project manager at Yale, where his work on alkalinity-based carbon removal laid the scientific foundation for CREW's platform. During his PhD at Yale's Earth and Planetary Sciences Department, he published in journals like Nature and won the Hammer Prize for Outstanding Geologist. He was also a Marie Curie Fellow at Oxford, studying weathering and carbon dioxide removal. He holds a PhD and MPhil from Yale and a BS in Earth Science from William & Mary.About CREW Carbon:Founded in 2022 out of Yale University, CREW Carbon is a water technology company providing wastewater treatment facilities with a solution that improves performance, lowers cost, and permanently removes greenhouse gases. By dosing carbon-negative alkalinity like calcium carbonate directly into wastewater bioreactors, CREW captures biogenic CO2 as stable bicarbonate while improving biological treatment efficiency. CREW is now deployed at 10 wastewater treatment facilities across the US and Europe, has raised over $35 million in funding including a recent Series A, and holds more than $40 million in committed carbon removal contracts with buyers including Microsoft, JP Morgan, Google, Autodesk, and Stripe through Frontier.

Over the last decade, the number of drug candidates entering development has doubled, yet the number of successful drug approvals remains flat at ~50 per year.This week, we sit down with Formation Bio founder and CEO Ben Liu. His company has raised more than $600 million to build what he hopes will become the first new enduring pharmaceutical company in decades, powered by AI. Ben explains why he believes clinical development, not drug discovery, is becoming the industry's biggest bottleneck, and how AI could fundamentally change the economics of bringing new medicines to patients.We cover:Why there hasn't there been a big pharma company created since the 1980sWhich drug categories Ben believes could become the next GLP-1s and reshape healthcareWhy Formation Bio chose to become a pharmaceutical company instead of selling softwareThe real bottleneck in bringing medicines to patientsBen's roadmap for how AI will transform drug development over the next 10 to 20 yearsAbout our guest:Ben Liu is the co-founder and CEO of Formation Bio. He received his DPhil at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar, leveraging machine-learning, AI, and big-data to develop diagnostics and therapeutics for Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. During his graduate work, he observed the way clinical trials bottlenecked the development of new treatments for patients, compelling him to start Formation Bio.Before Formation Bio, Ben graduated from Yale where he was awarded the college's highest honor at graduation and received his MPhil with distinction in Computational Biology from the Department of Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics at Cambridge as a Paul Mellon Fellow.

Support the Institute today. https://givenow.nova.edu/the-institute-for-neuro-immune-medicine-inim-2025 In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy is joined by Dr. Theoharis Theoharides, one of the world's leading authorities on mast cell biology and neuroimmunology, to reframe multiple chemical sensitivity as a measurable, physiological immune response rooted in mast cell activation. Dr. Theoharides explains how mast cells throughout the body and brain respond to environmental chemicals, stress hormones, fragrances, mold toxins, and other triggers by releasing hundreds of chemical mediators that can affect every organ system simultaneously. He outlines the specific labs and biomarkers worth requesting, why standard diagnostic pathways frequently miss this condition, and what patients can do right now to reduce mast cell reactivity through natural compounds, environmental modifications, and targeted testing. This is a conversation that gives patients the clinical language and tools they need to stop being dismissed and start getting answers. Tune in to Hope and Help For Fatigue and Chronic Illness. Dr. Theoharis Theoharides is a Professor, Vice Chair of Clinical Immunology, and Director at the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine-Clearwater, an Adjunct Professor of Immunology at Tufts School of Medicine, where he was a Professor of Pharmacology and Internal Medicine, and also the Director of Molecular Immunopharmacology & Drug Discovery, and Clinical Pharmacologist at the Massachusetts Drug Formulary Commission (1983-2022).

Autonomous vehicles may be the closest real-world example of AI operating in life-and-death situations at scale. Justin Norden believes healthcare has a lot to learn from how that industry approached safety, testing, adoption, and trust. This week, Michael and Halle sit down with the founder and CEO of Qualified Health, fresh off the company's $125 million Series B, to discuss why healthcare organizations need to think differently about deploying AI. Justin shares how his experience at Stanford, Apple, Waymo, and in healthcare investing shaped his view that health systems need AI infrastructure, governance, and workforce buy-in, not just another point solution.We cover:What healthcare can learn from Waymo's approach to safe AI deploymentWhat founders need to understand about building around EpicWhy health systems need to treat AI as a CEO-level priority, not an innovation projectHow Qualified Health is helping systems deploy, monitor, and measure AI workflowsWhy governance, safety, and ROI matter as much as model performanceWhy clinicians are right to be skeptical about AI liabilityAbout our guest:Justin Norden, MD is Co-Founder and CEO of Qualified Health building the trusted platform for health system AI. Additionally, he has been an Adjunct Professor at Stanford Medicine in the Department of Biomedical Informatics Research where his research and teaching focused on AI in medicine and digital health where he founded and still teaches courses on digital health and generative AI in medicine. Previously, Dr. Norden was Co-Founder and CEO of Trustworthy AI, a company focused on algorithm safety and trust, which was acquired by Waymo (Google Self-Driving). He was a Partner at GSR Ventures leading investments in healthcare and AI, worked on the healthcare team at Apple, and helped start the Stanford Center for Digital Health. Dr. Justin Norden received an MD and MBA from Stanford University, an MPhil in Computational Biology from the University of Cambridge, and a BA in Computer Science from Carleton College.—

In this episode of Crossing Faiths, John Pinna speaks with Dr. Minhas Khan from Peshawar University about the complexities of intra-faith relations and the limitations of Samuel Huntington's "Clash of Civilizations" theory. They explore how the perception of the Muslim world as a monolithic entity is often a reductive Western construct used to serve political agendas, rather than an accurate reflection of its diverse cultural and ethnic landscapes. The conversation delves into the historical and structural roots of internal divisions within Islam, such as the Sunni-Shia divide, arguing that these fractures are frequently exacerbated by deliberate foreign engineering and statecraft rather than purely ancient theological hatred. Pinna and Khan also examine the ongoing geopolitical tensions between the U.S., Israel, and Iran, highlighting the role of resource control—specifically oil—and the unique position of Pakistan as a potential diplomatic mediator in a region where economic interests often override religious identity. Dr. Minhas Majeed Khan is an Assistant Professor of International Relations at University of Peshawar, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP), Pakistan. Born in Lakki Marwat, a remote area in the South of KP, she was married at the age of 16 due to which she had to discontinue her studies. With the support of her husband and three children she took a restart after 16 years of marriage and obtained her Ph.D. degree in International Relations in 2013. Dr. Khan teaches various courses to students of Masters level, MPhil and Ph.D. She is currently supervising one Ph.D., one Mphil and six undergrads dissertations. She has to her credit various publication in national and international academic journals. Her areas of interest focus on the study of religion and its role in politics, role of gender in peace and security, foreign policy decision-making, conflict resolution, US and Pakistan relations; regional politics of South, South West and Central Asia, the Pakhtuns; and Federally Administered Tribal Areas (FATA). As a Muslim woman, she strongly feels committed to strengthen the role of women in conflict transformation and peace building in a diverse setting with an aim at promoting peace and tolerance for a peaceful and stable international society. Dr. Khan is an active member of Pakistan Girls Guide Association and member to Regional Institute of Policy Research and Training (RIPORT) Board of Directors since 2010.
Robin Andersen's latest book, The Complicit Lens: US Media Coverage of Israel's Genocide in Gaza (OR Books, 2026), is a forensic and unflinching examination of how establishment media abandoned journalistic integrity to manufacture consent for the genocide in Gaza, creating an environment in which unprecedented escalations and war crimes have become a terrifying new normal. Since October 7th 2023, the story of what was to become the genocide in Gaza was immediately shaped by the mobilisation of a very particular narrative: one of unprovoked terror, of Israel's right to defend itself, of a war between equals. What was not made clear, and what Andersen's book documents in meticulous detail, was the extent to which those attacks would be used by Western elites, the global military industrial complex, and US legacy media to condone a full-scale genocide, including horrors that continue as this book goes to print, despite a ceasefire. The Complicit Lens is published by OR Books in collaboration with the Institute for Palestine Studies, and features an introduction by the Palestinian historian Rashid Khalidi, who writes: "This book does not make for easy reading. Andersen walks us through the mainstream media's misleading coverage, its bland and unquestioning repetition of lies and distortions by spokespersons for the Israeli and US governments, and its racist defamation of the Palestinians, when it is not ignoring their voices entirely. In analyzing this dereliction of the most basic duties of journalists, she offers detailed alternative and independent media accounts of Israel's massacres, its intentional destruction of the infrastructure necessary for normal life, and its starvation of over two million people, obscured by this almost universal mainstream media malpractice." About the Author Robin Andersen is professor emerita of media studies at Fordham University and an award-winning author of a dozen single- and co-authored books. Her work examines film, television, and media coverage of war, the environment, politics, and elections. She edits the Routledge Focus Book Series on Media and Humanitarian Action, serves as a Project Censored Judge, and contributes to the annual State of the Free Press. Andersen is on the Board of Directors of Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting, where she also writes regularly, and is an Izzy Award Judge for the Park Center for Independent Media. About the Host Stuti Roy is currently an editor at Oxford University Press. She has recently graduated with an MPhil in Modern South Asian Studies from the University of Oxford and holds a BA in Political Science from the University of Toronto.

Sébastien is currently a PhD student in Latin American and Caribbean History at Yale University. He previously earned an MPhil in World History from the University of Cambridge. His undergraduate dissertation examined the Haitian Indemnity of 1825 and the wider trans-Atlantic relationship between Haiti and Latin America. Sébastien was an undergraduate Mellon Mays Fellow at CUNY, Queens. His research centers on Haitian diplomacy, state-making in Latin America, and under-discussed narratives that reconceptualize our understanding of the region.
In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides, one of the world's foremost experts on mast cell activation syndrome and neuroinflammation, to break down what brain fog actually is, what is driving it at the cellular level, and what can be done about it. Dr. Theoharides explains how the brain's own immune cells, known as microglia, can become destructive when triggered by viral particles, spike protein, mold, or other inflammatory agents. He details how COVID spike protein can enter the brain through the blood-brain barrier and the olfactory nerve, persist for up to two years, and activate a cascade of neuroinflammation that disrupts memory, cognition, and mood. He also shares the latest developments in diagnostic tools, including SPECT imaging and an emerging biosignature panel designed to finally give patients measurable, objective evidence of what is happening in their brains. He walks through the most evidence-backed interventions his team is using to protect and restore brain cell function, including folinic acid, luteolin-based flavonoids, and hydroxytyrosol from olive leaves, and why supplement quality matters more than most people realize. If you have been told your brain fog is all in your head, this episode is for you. Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters. If your body feels like it's running on empty, overburdened, or just not responding the way it used to, Haylie's latest book, Toxic Overload, tells you exactly what to do.

Andrew is a psychotherapist, comparative religion scholar, and survivor of high-control Evangelical and Pentecostal Christianity. Raised as the son of a minister, he served as a missionary to India and worked as a minister before experiencing a profound deconversion and recovery from religious trauma, which informs both his clinical work and academic research on high-control religion. Andrew holds an MPhil in Classical Indian Religion from the University of Oxford, an MDiv from Princeton Seminary, and an MA in Counseling Psychology from Golden Gate University. His training across Hindu, Buddhist, Christian, and psychological traditions enables him to examine religious systems comparatively and understand how belief, authority, and practice shape psychological experience in high-demand groups. He specializes in working with survivors from Christian, Evangelical, Pentecostal, charismatic, New Age, neo-tantric, Hindu- and Buddhist-influenced, and other high-control environments. His approach integrates Internal Family Systems (IFS), EMDR, depth therapy, mindfulness, and faith deconstruction. Through Life After Dogma (www.lifeafterdogma.org), he combines survivor insight, scholarship, and trauma-informed psychotherapy to help clients unwind conditioning, heal shame, reclaim agency, and rebuild identity.

In today's episode, Haylie Pomroy sits down with Dr. Theoharis Theoharides — Professor of Clinical Immunology and Executive Director of the Center for Excellence in Neuroinflammation Research — to dig into a topic that's finally getting the attention it deserves: multiple chemical sensitivity (MCS) and its deep connection to mast cell activation. Dr. Theoharides explains what actually happens in the immune system when the body is exposed to everyday chemicals — from perfume and jet fuel to formaldehyde in clothing and mycotoxins in food. He walks through the biology of mast cells, why stress dramatically lowers your chemical reaction threshold, and why so many patients go undiagnosed or are dismissed as "just sensitive." Haylie brings her own personal experience with chemical sensitivity and autoimmune disease to the conversation, making this one of the most candid and clinically rich discussions we've had on the show. Whether you've been told your symptoms are in your head, or you've quietly suspected that your environment is making you sick, this episode is for you. Tune in to Fast Metabolism Matters — and finally get the science to back up what your body has been telling you all along. Dr. Theoharis Theoharides is a Professor, Vice Chair of Clinical Immunology, and Director at the Institute for Neuro-Immune Medicine-Clearwater, an Adjunct Professor of Immunology at Tufts School of Medicine, where he was a Professor of Pharmacology and Internal Medicine, and also the Director of Molecular Immunopharmacology & Drug Discovery, and Clinical Pharmacologist at the Massachusetts Drug Formulary Commission (1983-2022). He received his BA, MS, MPhil, PhD, and MD degrees and the Winternitz Price in Pathology from Yale University and received a Certificate in Global Leadership from Tufts Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy and a Fellowship at Harvard Kennedy School of Government. He trained in internal medicine at New England Medical Center, which awarded him the Oliver Smith Award, "recognizing excellence, compassion, and service." Dr. Theoharides has 485 publications (46,491 citations; h-index 106), placing him in the world's top 2% of most cited authors, and he was rated the worldwide expert on mast cells by Expertscape. He was inducted into the Alpha Omega Alpha National Medical Honor Society, the Rare Diseases Hall of Fame, and the World Academy of Sciences.

In this episode, we explore the rapidly evolving field of regenerative medicine, focusing on a cutting-edge approach known as RPA (Regenerative Protein Array). Joined by leading medical experts, we break down how RPA differs from traditional therapies like PRP and stem cells, and how it leverages a complex network of proteins to support healing, recovery, and performance. The discussion covers real-world applications across elite athletes, aging populations, and neurocognitive conditions, while also addressing key questions around treatment frequency, safety, and effectiveness. Overall, this episode bridges the gap between emerging science and practical outcomes in modern regenerative care.Relevant links:Genesis Contact Information1-855-320-7559www.genesisregenerative.compatient-inquiry@genesisregenerative.comclinician-inquiry@genesisregenerative.com Dr. Jacobson Contact InformationMark Jacobson, M.D.Genesis Medical Director – MusculoskeletalMedical Imaging & Therapeutics, Lady Lake, FloridaFounder & Medical Directorwww.mitflorida.comDr. Bregman Contact InformationPeter Bregman, DPMGenesis Medical Director – Foot, Ankle, NeuropathyBregman Foot-Ankle & Nerve Center, Las Vegas, NVFounder & Medical Directorwww.bregmanfance.com Prof. Dr. Bankole Johnson Contact InformationProfessor Bankole Johnson,DSc, MD, MBChB, MPhil, DFAPA, FRCPysch, DAASCPGenesis Medical Director – Neuro & CognitiveMiami Stem Cell Clinic, Miami, FLFounder & Medical Directorwww.miamistemcell.clinicDisclaimer:The information provided in this podcast episode is for entertainment purposes and is NOT MEDICAL ADVICE.

Since the early 2000s, the Canadian government has attempted reconciliation with Indigenous Nations through varied efforts: treaty processes, government commissions, rebranding campaigns for settler-owned businesses, workshops for state and local officials, school curriculum changes, and a recently christened national holiday. However, Joseph Weiss argues, these state-driven initiatives reinforce Indigenous subordination to the settler state. This incisive study of the varied responses from both Indigenous Nations and individuals illuminates how reconciliation is implicated in ongoing colonial erasure.Critically engaging with a variety of fields, including Indigenous studies, anthropology, history, political theory, semiotics, and museum studies, Weiss captures the multiple scales at which these contested dynamics unfold and explores their underlying technologies of erasure. Irreconcilable: Indigeneity and the Violence of Colonial Erasure in Contemporary Canada (UNC Press, 2026) unpacks how reconciliation offers amends for anti-Indigenous violence while disavowing responsibility for that violence, and argues that settler promises of reconciliation cannot be reconciled to the fact of Indigenous sovereignty. Nevertheless, Weiss illustrates how Indigenous Peoples refuse erasure at every turn, instead building alternate futures and lived worlds that are not always already colonially overdetermined. Joseph Weiss is an Associate Professor of Anthropology, American Studies, Science and Technology Studies at Wesleyan University and where he also chairs the anthropology department. He is also the author of Shaping the Future on Haida Gwaii: Life Beyond Settler Colonialism Elliott M. Reichardt, MPhil, is a PhD Candidate in Socio-Cultural Anthropology at Stanford University. Elliott's research interests are in capitalism, colonialism, and socio-ecological health in North America. Elliott also has long standing interests in medical anthropology and the history of science and medicine. Learn more about your ad choices.

He recently moved to Jerusalem to assume the role of senior lecturer at Aish Global.Rabbi Rowe does not consider himself a great expert in Jewish mysticism. Nevertheless, he sits down with us to answer eighteen questions with Rabbi Dr. Benji Levy on Jewish mysticism including the inner dimensions of the Torah and how one can connect with the divine will. Here are our questions: What is Jewish mysticism?How were you introduced to Jewish mysticism?In an ideal world, would all Jews be mystics?What do you think of when you think of God?What is the purpose of the Jewish people?How does prayer work?What is the goal of Torah study?Does Jewish mysticism view men and women the same?Should Judaism be hard or easy?Why did God create the world? Can humans do something that is against God's will?What do you think of when you think about Moshiach?Is the State of Israel part of the final redemption?What is the greatest challenge facing the world today?How has modernity changed Jewish mysticism?What differentiates Jewish mysticism from the mysticism of other religions? Does one need to be religious to study Jewish mysticism?Can mysticism be dangerous?How has Jewish mysticism affected your relationships with yourself and with others?What is a Jewish teaching that you always take with you?
